What is #Dazzle4Rare

Dazzle4Rare is a week to raise awareness for people with undiagnosed and rare diseases. The event is unique because it helps communities of all sizes share information, reaching more people in other communities.

The idea is simple: when you share for another community, that community’s message can reach more people who might be helped by it. And when other communities share your message, you reach more people too!

You can see our co-host’s past messages by looking at past #Dazzle4Rare events on Facebook by searching the hashtag. The goal is always to help organisations, groups, and patients affected by rare diseases to share information with more people each year.

Dazzle4Rare is an ongoing conversation about working together as a larger community to help more people. It takes a lot of work, but it’s worth it to ensure more people see your community’s message.
